Chapter 335: Craig of the Target

"Angelina. Julie flatly refused MGM's request, and Daniel's personal opening did not make her change her mind. It is reported that the biggest reason why Julie refused the invitation was that she was not optimistic about the new James. Bond's candidate. Daniel. Craig is clearly no match for Bond, at least in this respect, who is a heartthrob. ”

"Daniel. Craig intervenes in Jude. Lowe and Selena. Miller's love affair! According to people familiar with the matter, in Jude. After the scandal between Luo and the nanny broke out, the relationship between the two hit the rocks and was in jeopardy. Daniel. Craig takes the opportunity to step in and go on a fish-and-water adventure with Selena. Importantly, Craig and Jude. Lowe had a good relationship, and before that, Jude. Lowe is also one of the candidates for 007. ”

"Charlize. Theron and Jessica. Simpson turned down the role of Bond Girl in Casino Royale one after another. ”

The media pulled out all the various candidates contacted by MGM before for analysis, and finally came to the conclusion: Daniel. Craig's lack of charisma, especially for women, was very important to James. Bond, it's simply unacceptable. There is no doubt that this conclusion was pleasing to the "sizable" Bond fans - it is very strange that before that, everyone understood that Bond had support, but definitely did not expect its supporter base to be so large.

When you log on to social media, you'll notice that there are several Bond fans hidden among your friends - they never mention Bond, they never follow the Bond trend, and they haven't even bought DVDs of the last 20 Bond movies. Overnight, they became indignant Bond fans, lashing out at MGM's casting, as if they couldn't call it their success without letting them switch roles.

This is, of course, one of the most important signs of the social age - conformity!

There has never been such a convenient platform and channel for the public to express their herd mentality hidden in their bones.

Everybody's against Craig, so I'm going to go against Craig too, and not only that, but he's going to be louder than everyone else. More justified than others, more angry than others.

That's where everyone's psychology lies.

Daniel was dedicated to the crew filming "Gathering Soul Coffin", and he didn't care about these waves, and even he instructed MGM and DD Pictures not to respond too much to this matter. Campbell and Barbara. Brockley can personally support Craig and avoid really overwhelmingly thinking that Craig really can't take on the role of Bond.

……

"Gathering Souls" was filmed in a studio in Burbank, Los Angeles, for about two weeks, that is, to the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean, where the crew will complete most of the filming on the Dominican island of Bataka.

The first part was originally planned to be filmed by Pirates of the Caribbean, but it was a pity. The fire in the studio finally made Disney and Bruckheimer decide to change the shooting plan, and the rest of the work was done in the United States, not in the Caribbean, but some filming preparations had been made in advance and were not dismantled, and now the second film is just on this basis.

Orlando. Bloom also previously collaborated with the new Bond girl Eva Green on "Heavenly Dynasty", directed by Ridley. Scott.

So it's inevitable that there will be more topics for each other.

Otherwise, they probably haven't met for more than a year, after all, when "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Daniel emperor for the second time in 2004, he himself did not attend the Oscars. And Orlando, too, they staggered.

……

"We should have come earlier."

Rob. Marshall complained to Daniel that he was busy, and it was indeed because of Daniel that he postponed the filming for so long.

"If Robert. If Iger had been a little more cheerful, he could have done it earlier. ”

"You're asking for too much."

Daniel tugged at his clothes. This world-famous captain's costume is now the most eye-catching actor on occasions such as anime exhibitions, with special makeup. Highly recognizable, of course, it is the favorite choice of those who are not particularly good actors.

Hearing Rob muttering there, Daniel was amused. It turns out that Rob is a director with a small output, and although "Chicago" did not let him beat Polanski and win the Oscar for Best Director, it beat "The Pianist" and helped Miramax win Best Picture. Of course, he himself became a first-class director in Hollywood overnight.

Next, he immediately took over the first part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", with a global box office of more than 800 million, firmly establishing his position among the top Hollywood directors. After filming "Pirates", on the one hand, he needs to take a break, and on the other hand, he is not sure when the second part will start.

In the second part, Rob's salary has of course increased significantly, and the director's salary of 15 million yuan for a single film is only under a few people in Hollywood. Greengrass took over the third part of "Spy" for a similar price.

However, this is pitifully small compared to Daniel's salary.

30 million basic salary, 20% share.

Rob never thought he could get that price in his life, so he inevitably felt a little sour in his heart - after all, salary is often an important indicator of the power of the crew, especially when the gap is so large to this extent. Although Daniel has as much power as an investor, in the professional field, the director does not need to give face to investors, but he needs to give face to the leading actor who is also a professional.

Two plus one, in the crew of "Pirates 2", he Rob. Marshall was in fact inferior to Daniel.

"Even if the plan was to start shooting a little earlier, at the end of last year, then you won't make that Japanese film?"

Rob was dumbfounded.

After waiting for "Pirate 2" to no avail, he took over a new film from Sony Columbia, Memoirs of a Geisha, and interestingly, the starring female characters in it are all played by Chinese. Vivian, Gong Li, and the former Bond girl Yang Ziqiong. That film, relatively speaking, was more in line with Rob's appetite, because it was also a song and dance film, and it was full of exoticism, telling the story of a Japanese geisha. It's part of Sony's ambition to spread Japanese culture around the world. However, I don't appreciate it very much in Japan, mainly because the leading actors are not Japanese except for the actor Ken Watanabe.

"William, wait a minute, Daniel's pot is heating up a bit."

"Whatever, Kusa just upgraded my insurance, my hands, my face, are now tens of millions of dollars." (To be continued......)
